Rogue

Rogues are not normally thieves as everyone expects them to be though a Thief is partially what they are when it comes to claiming treasures that do not belong to them. A Rogue is trained in basic thievery as well as using Stealth and Swift of Hand to retrieve items that are normally forbidden or difficult to obtain for their employer. Though thieves are highly regarded as criminals it is not uncommon to find a Thief apply their talents into the art of being a Rogue. These are professional acquirers of rather hard and difficult treasures that can normally be in Ruins or in other restricted areas. Applying their stealth unlike some common thief allows them to avoid detection and their back ground tends to be one of not a care for others or those in their way. Unlike the Omitsu some Rogues care less for Honor and disregard who they have to hurt to get what they want. Though an Honorable Rogue may have some Code or Conduct they live by to avoid the unnecessary harm of innocent people. Rogues also, unlike Omitsu, can disarm Traps and Open locks though are more skilled at it than an Omitsu who is far more agile than a Rogue. Rogue tend to go and allow to be hired in expectation of not just a money value reward but the possible rewards from other’s bodies and such making them some times disliked in an adventurer’s party. But one has to admit having a rouge in a party can be useful when Stealth and getting to areas that are either blocked off or restricted is required.

Benefits> These are basic Abilities you know of easily from your novice training when learning to become a Rogue. Some are set specifically for your profession as abilities you may know and how to use. Though they are rarely powerful skills they are useful skills that will assist you in your travels as an Adventurer in the world of Everlynn.

Lock Picking> A skill that applies a Reflex Check in order to unlock a Door or Lock that bars the entrance or opens something the Rogue may want. The Rogue asks a difficulty for the lock from the host and the host will state a Difficulty. By scoring the difficulty or more the lock is unlocked. Also if a Rogue wishes she may lock the unlocked item by making a Reflex Roll to set a Difficulty for some one else to open the lock. This at times can be useful but at times if the Rogue cannot beat their own lock score can be annoying at critical times.

Disarming> Rogues are the only ones aside from Omitsu who can Disarm Traps and get a +1 to their Mind Check in Identifying or Examining a trap. They only Rogues can benefit from the bonuses of Disarming a Trap as well as identifying or examining it. They also get a +1 Bonus to Reflex Checks when disarming Traps.

Knowledge Street> Rogues get a +4 bonus to Street Knowledge regardless if they have Zero, Few, or Max Ranks in the skill. This is because they know much of the streets as well as who is the appropriate contact or source when it comes to Rogue sources.

Abilities> Rogue abilities are assorted among thievery, lock picking, disarming traps, locating traps, and being sneaky. These types of abilities make them cunning and tricky individuals since no one can be sure what a Rogues intention might be. As a Rogue regardless of your ethics you are in it for the long haul such as treasure, jewels, money, and some times just to have more of what you don’t have. Some treat as a game or sport always curious to better them or to see if they can be finally caught in the act.

Stealing> The ability allows a Rogue to make a pick pocket or swift of hand action by using their Reflex Bonus +1 into a Reflex Check Difficulty 10. If they score 10 or more they succeed in the act of stealing, pick pocketing, or swift of hand action but the target may make a Sight Check -1 to catch the Rogue in the act. If caught the Steal was a fail if scored under the Difficulty the steal Check was a fail and you were spotted. This may cause you to create hostilities by the character you are stealing from.
Cost> 20 Exp

Flag Trap> A Rogue can attempt to Flag a Trap when disarming it. Meaning if they think they cannot score higher than the Difficulty on a Trap and are afraid to set off the trap no matter if the disarm roll, unless a Critical Fail of 1, the trap will not go off being flagged once allowing the Rogue to try again or avoid the mess.
Cost> 20 Exp

Recover Trap> When a trap has been flagged or not a Rogue can attempt to Recover the trap. However if the door, chest, etc. is locked it will remain locked. This will allow the Rogue to claim traps that he or she can apply at another time. If a trap has been flagged the Rogue must make a Disarm Check and score higher than the difficulty in order to recover a Trap and must state they are doing it before making the roll. If afterwards of the roll they want to recover the Trap it is to late and has been disarmed.
Cost> 30 Exp

Advance Lock Picking> Rogues may learn Advance skills of Lock Picking and purchase a +1 Bonus to Lock Picking in order to increase their chances in breaking the difficulties of some Locks. This can be learned ten times adding a x with a number to signify how man times the skills was purchased as well as how much the modifier is.

Dodge and Dive> At times an Area Effect may cause a lot of Damage that is normally visible. This ability allows a Rogue to react first and make movement to quickly avoid the incoming Area Effect. Let us say an explosive ball of energy comes at the Rogue while she is in battle with an opponent. The moment it is cast in her direction she must declare she has this ability and make a Dodge Vs an Attack from her opponent. If Successful she is able to make her full movement or double in order to get out of the blast range of the Area Effect spell. If she is able to run or move out of the Area Range she takes no Damage from the Area Effect Spell as she runs and dives away.

Costs> 20 Exp

Conceal Weapon> A Rogue can choose to conceal their weapon as long as it is no bigger than the Size of a Knife. This creates a Disguise Difficulty 15 as well as a Detection Difficulty of 15. This makes it hard to find weapons upon a Rogue.
Cost> 30 Exp

Dodge Traps> Rogues are cunning and swift this is also required for them to Dodge Traps. This ability assists with a +4 to any Reflex or Dodge Checks caused by a Trap. Regardless of the Ranks in Reflex or Dodge this will always give a +4 to any avoidance of set off traps. This is a prize among Rogues to learn especially in their dangerous affairs in retrieving forbidden items that are laced with traps around and on them.

Rogue’s Cunning> This can be applied in two ways. One a Rogue may add this +4 Bonus to any Bluff or Social checks when attempting to lie or persuade a target as well as when resisting Social Checks placed upon them.
